Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Preheat Your Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent the casserole from sticking and to ensure easy cleanup.
Prepare the Hash Browns
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, diced onion, green bell pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add the cooked and crumbled bacon to the mixture, stirring until everything is evenly distributed. The combination of crispy hash browns, savory bacon, and melted cheese forms the base of this delicious casserole.
Assemble the Casserole
Spread the hash brown mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the hash brown mixture in the baking dish, ensuring that it covers everything evenly.
Bake the Casserole
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. You’ll know the casserole is done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, you can cover the casserole with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and slice into squares to serve. This Bacon, Egg, and Hash Brown Casserole is perfect on its own or paired with fresh fruit, toast, or a side salad for a complete breakfast.
Tips
- Make Ahead: This casserole can be assembled the night before and stored in the refrigerator. In the morning, simply bake it as directed for an easy, stress-free breakfast.
- Bacon Alternatives: For a different flavor, you can substitute the bacon with cooked sausage, ham, or even a vegetarian alternative.
- Cheese Options: Feel free to mix in different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack, Swiss, or pepper jack, for a unique twist.
- Leftovers: Leftover casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or in a low oven until warmed through.
This Bacon, Egg, and Hash Brown Casserole is the ultimate breakfast dish, offering all your morning favorites in one convenient and delicious package. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just your family, this casserole is sure to be a hit. Enjoy!
